Chapter 879 Sky-high price map
The next day.

Early in the morning, Yang Qi led the officials on the road back to Yanjing City.

Peng Pai stayed in the port city quietly.

Two days later.

Su Yijian also arrived in Hong Kong quietly.

The two met in a hidden courtyard in Changle Square.

"Su Xianggong..."

"Sit down and talk."

After the two sat down, Su Yijian asked, "How is the situation now?"

Sitting opposite Su Yijian, Peng Pai poured tea for Su Yijian and said, "Huang Gu and Wang Yan have been throwing money in Hong Kong City for four days, and the news that it's time for a walk has spread.

On the surface, Hong Kong City is still peaceful.

But behind the scenes, there are turbulent waves.

According to the investigation, thousands of people have been secretly dispatched to Cangzhou.

In addition, the orders of the three major shipyards on the wharf have also begun to increase frequently.

More importantly, more than ten thousand speculators flocked from all over the world. "

Su Yijian picked up the teacup, blew on the green tea, and said with a smile, "Everything is going in the direction Your Majesty expected."

Taking a sip of tea, Su Yijian clicked her lips and sighed.

"No matter how much you drink this tea, you won't get the taste of wine. Hey..."

Peng Pai shrugged his shoulders and snickered.

Su Yijian stared angrily and said, "Why are you laughing..."

After training Peng Pai, he froze for a moment and looked at Peng Pai eagerly.

Peng Pai woke up and said, "Don't ask me for a drink. No one can violate His Majesty's prohibition on alcohol."

Su Yijian pursed her lips in disdain, "A man is worthless if he can be frightened by a rude order from His Majesty."

Peng Pai spread his hands and said: "Don't provoke me, I don't have any wine for you. Last time you coaxed His Highness to get you wine, His Majesty almost slapped His ass swollen.

Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.

Your majesty is so cruel to your little majesty, if I dare to give you a drink, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die. "

Peng Pai paused, and before Su Yijian continued to despise him, he said, "Let's get down to business, what shall we do next?"

"What should I do? Of course I will follow the plan."

……

The next day.

Jian Zichuan Temple outside Hong Kong City.

Several traveling merchants were resting inside.

Suddenly, a man in ragged clothes and scars all over his body rushed into the ruined temple and threw himself in front of the traveling merchant.

Several traveling merchants were taken aback.

"Water...water...water..."

The man lay on the ground, shouting for water.

Several traveling merchants hesitated for a moment, and one of the kind-hearted merchants stepped forward and handed him a water bag.

The man held the water bag and poured it down rudely.

When he was full, the man grabbed the kind-hearted merchant and begged for food again.

The kind-hearted businessman couldn't help it, and gave him some dry food.

After eating and drinking, the man regained his strength, looked at the kind-hearted businessman and said: "I walk in the rivers and lakes, and I never receive favors in vain. I will give you a fortune."

After the man said this, without waiting for the kind-hearted businessman to reply, he carefully took out a thick book from his arms, picked out a page, tore it off, and solemnly sent it to the kind-hearted businessman. superior.

"what is this?"

"Astonishing wealth..."

After leaving this sentence, the man left the ruined temple without looking back, and left in a hurry.

"What shocking wealth, I think he is a stinky beggar, a stinky liar..."

A traveling merchant immediately whispered.

However, before he finished speaking, he froze.

Because the kind-hearted businessman has already unfolded that piece of paper.

A small map is drawn on the paper, with many text annotations beside it.

"The Peacock Dynasty, believed in Buddhism, rich in gold and silver..."Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Pian"..."

"This is...the map of the Maurya Dynasty..."

Someone called out on the spot.

In an instant, the eyes of several traveling merchants all fell on the kind-hearted merchant.

Two of them had fierce eyes, obviously they were not kind people.

The kind-hearted businessman swallowed his saliva, handed the map to the front timidly, and said in a low voice, "Twenty gold coins, I'll sell it to you."

"You are very smart, twenty gold coins, our brother wants it."

The two men with fierce eyes narrowed their eyes, took out a bag from their arms, threw it to the kind-hearted businessman, then turned around and left with the map in hand.

After the two people left, several other businessmen who were walking on their feet pouted and said, "Are you stupid? Now everyone knows that the Maurya Dynasty is full of gold and silver, and there are many people in the market who offer thousands of dollars to receive maps of the Maurya Dynasty.

You actually sold it cheaply to someone else. "

The kind-hearted businessman held the bag of gold coins very contentedly, and said with a smile: "I just paid for a bag of water and a little dry food, and in exchange for nearly ten thousand times the reward, I am already satisfied.

Besides, everyone in the world knows that the Maurya Dynasty is full of gold and silver, so the map of the Maurya Dynasty must be very precious.

Not so easy to get from a beggar.

And those two brothers, who didn't look like good people, lost their lives for a map whose authenticity was unknown, and it wasn't worth it. "

The others were taken aback, nodded in astonishment and said, "What you said is also reasonable. If the map of the Maurya Dynasty is so easy to obtain, no one will spend a lot of money to buy it."

at this time.

A group of fierce soldiers and horses rushed into the ruined temple.

The leader straddled the horse, holding a portrait in his hand, and asked several traveling merchants gloomyly, "Have you seen this man before?"

Isn't the person in the portrait the same beggar begging for food and drink just now?

Immediately, someone said: "Yes, I just left and went east."

"Chase!"

The leader turned his horse's head and ordered to pursue.

The traveling businessman asked behind him, "General, who is that?"

"A villain who escaped from the prison in Daying, Cangzhou, killed many people."

The soldiers and horses have left.

But what the leader said echoed in the ears of the traveling merchants for a long time.

"Escaped from the supervision of Cangzhou Daying?!"

"That map may be real!"

"..."

Several traveling merchants were shocked beyond measure.

They suddenly remembered that that beggar-like man seemed to have not only a map of the Mauryan Dynasty in his hand, but a booklet.

For a moment, they had no intention of staying in the ruined temple anymore.

As businessmen, their sense of smell is keen.

They missed the map of the Maurya Dynasty, so they can no longer miss the sale of news.

They had to sell this priceless news while everyone knew about it.

As a few of them rushed to Hong Kong City, what happened in the ruined temple quickly began to spread in Hong Kong City.

By nightfall, the various forces in Hong Kong City already knew that there was a beggar who ran out from the Cangzhou camp and was holding a map.

Almost all the forces in Hong Kong City began to send a large number of people to look for this beggar.

Three days passed in a flash.

The beggar seemed to have disappeared.

Just when the major forces were about to give up, the Southern Chamber of Commerce suddenly sent out an astonishing news.

Someone commissioned the Southland Chamber of Commerce to sell two copies of the map.

What a map, it goes without saying.

Almost everyone flocked to the Southland Chamber of Commerce.

The two crumpled pieces of paper sold for 20 gold coins.

And after the sale ended, many people also knew where the two pictures pointed.

One is called Gem Township, and the other is called Xiangmu Island.

Although it is not a well-known map of the Maurya Dynasty, from the names of these two maps alone, we can know that these are two places full of treasures.

The next day.

Gaining the great power of Xiangmu Island, organized nearly a hundred boats, and smashed out of the sea mightily.

For an instant.

Everyone in Hong Kong City went crazy.

As long as there is a map, you can find huge treasures, who can sit still.

Just look at the two nouveau riche who spend money like water in the port city, and you will know how rich the wealth is in an unknown place.

All of a sudden, the major forces that didn't get the map bought the map at a high price one after another.

And in the secret courtyard in Changle Square.

Two boxes full of gold coins were stacked in front of Su Yijian and Peng Pai.

Peng Pai looked at the golden gold coin, and said eagerly, "I never thought that two pieces of torn paper could be sold for so much money."

Su Yijian said contemptuously: "What torn paper? That's a genuine treasure map."

Peng Pai said suspiciously: "I remember that His Majesty copied the descriptions in "Shan Hai Jing"..."

Su Yijian shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's different, the "Shan Hai Jing" describes all kinds of strange things, but the maps given by His Majesty describe all kinds of priceless treasure maps.

Moreover, after my research, these maps may be real. "

Peng Pai's eyes widened in astonishment, and he growled: "Impossible, how could we live on a ball, if we really live on a ball, why didn't we fall off?"

Su Yijian shook her head suspiciously and said, "I don't know either, but I once took the map of the Maurya Dynasty, found the two of Huang Gu, and verified it carefully, basically there is not much source."

Peng Pai shook his head like a rattle, and shouted: "I don't believe it, unless I fall that day, otherwise I will never believe that we live on the same ball."

Su Yijian glared at him, and said in a low voice: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but don't mess up the errand that His Majesty gave you. Your Majesty said that if we can't sell these maps for a big price, then don't go back."

Peng Pai restrained his emotions, and pondered: "Nowadays, the price of maps outside is getting higher and higher. If we throw out all the maps in our hands, we should be able to sell them for a high price."

Su Yijian stared and said: "Are you stupid? Do you understand the reason why rare goods can be lived in? Naturally, the less these things are, the more valuable they are. If they are thrown out all at once, they will be worthless."

Peng Pai scratched his head helplessly, and said depressedly: "I don't know how to do business..."

"Sell one in three to five days, hang them for a month first."

"We have 10,000+ maps in our hands, one map every three to five days, when will we sell it?"

Su Yijian rolled her eyes again, "Won't you first choose some small islands that are close to Dayan Kingdom and have a short round-trip distance to sell? As long as those people see the huge benefits brought by the map, we will still look at the map and sell it. stay home?"

Peng Pai remembered Su Yijian's words, and asked his subordinates to follow suit.

Maps are sold out one by one in three to five days.

And every time the map appears, it will attract a lot of looting.

The price of the map has also been rising all the way, the highest soaring to 100 million.

With every map sold, a large number of people left the dock by boat to chase the astonishing wealth.

A large number of people leave Hong Kong City every day, but the number of people in Hong Kong City has not decreased, but is still increasing rapidly.

In just one month, the population of Hong Kong City has increased from 20 to 30.

And as the dream of getting rich continued to spread to the territory of Yan Kingdom, people from all over the country poured into the port city every day.

Time flickers.

Two months passed quietly.

Gradually, some people realized that something was wrong. They felt that the map was always sold every three to five days, and it seemed that someone was manipulating this matter behind the scenes.

At the moment, the major forces that did not grab the map began to wait and see for a long time.

And the price of the map has also continued to fall.

When the price of the map fell below a freezing point.

Peng Pai hurriedly found Su Yijian.

"Su Xianggong, it's terrible. Our map now costs [-] silver coins, and no one wants it anymore. I'm afraid they discovered that we are manipulating it behind our backs."

Su Yijian was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, when he heard Peng Pai's yell, he pursed his mouth and said calmly: "Whether they want it or not, starting tomorrow, the selling price of each map will be set at 100 million. Below this price , not for sale."

Peng Pai stared at his eyes and said: "You are crazy, no one wants 100 silver coins, if you set [-] million, then no one wants it."

Su Yijian looked back and pulled out a memorial from under the recliner, and threw it to Peng Pai.

"See for yourself."

Suspiciously, Peng Pai opened the memorial and said, "What news, you know about it earlier than me? In our Great Yan Kingdom, except for the news about the Navy, the rest of the news must go through my hands..."

Before he finished speaking, Peng Pai had already read the contents of the memorial, and he said in astonishment: "It's true news about the Navy..."

"There are two fleets that went to sea, and they returned with a full load!"

"We're rich!"

Peng Pai was overjoyed and screamed.

Su Yijian coughed softly, and said, "It's not that we got rich, it's His Majesty who got rich. We're just helping His Majesty make money. Do you still suspect that I'm crazy?"

Peng Pai shook his head like a rattle.

Immediately, after Peng Pai left the small courtyard, he immediately raised the price of the map all the way up.

The businessmen thought it was a marketing gimmick, and they disdainfully hid in the dark to watch the show, to see if any fool would be fooled.

Seven days later, the first fool appeared.

He bought a map for 100 million.

On the eighth day, another fool appeared.

Also bought a map at a price of 100 million.

The businessmen who knew the two fools well went to laugh at the two fools that night.

however.

When the sun rises on the ninth day.

Merchants found out.

They are the real fools.

Twenty boats loaded with spices slowly entered the dock.

Everyone in Hong Kong City went crazy.

The price of spices has remained high among countries, and some precious spices are comparable to gold.
